Here's some good news for hard-rock fans familiar with the old-school Canadian music scene: Triumph (Canada's other part-prog, part-heavy power trio) is releasing a new greatest hits sound package that has been remixed for modern ears by a veteran who has worked with their fellow countrymen, Rush.  For those who don't know the group, Triumph offered a more straightforward, party-hearty version of the tricky arena rock that Geddy Lee and company were known for.  They were mainstays of early MTV and recorded a few classic beloved to AOR fans (Allied Forces is the all-time classic).  This deluxe package also includes a DVD and looks to be worthwhile for both old fans and new acquaintances.  Keep reading for all the arena-rocking details...Frontiers Records To Release Greatest Hits Remixed CD/DVD Package In EuropeTRIUMPH, the legendary Canadian Hard Rock trio formed by Gil Moore (drums and vocals), Mike Levine (bass and keyboards) and Rik Emmett (guitars and vocals) are releasing in Europe on Frontiers Records the newest Greatest Hits compilation package on CD and DVD appropriately titled Greatest Hits Remixed.The two-disc set, which will be in the shops on May 14, includes a hit-laden 14 track CD, which was remixed by Rich Chycki (Aerosmith, Rush), giving the songs an incredible sonic wallop.
